I have a comment about the following change:

+ error = fprintf(nmfile, "\n[ipv4]\n");
+ if (error < 0)
+ goto setval_error;
+
+ if (new_val->dhcp_enabled) {
+ error = kvp_write_file(nmfile, "method", "", "auto");
+ if (error < 0)
+ goto setval_error;
+ } else {
+ error = kvp_write_file(nmfile, "method", "", "manual");
+ if (error < 0)
+ goto setval_error;
+ }

I think the method equally would apply for ipv6 as it applies for ipv4.
We can use https://www.golinuxcloud.com/nmcli-command-examples-cheatsheet-centos-rhel/#18_Disable_IPv6_Address_for_ethernet_connection_IPV6INIT as a reference.
So setting the method should be common to both ipv4 and ipv6.
